Bullies and Bullets

The two things are directly related. Because the more of a bullying society we have become the more bullets we are firing at each other.

Bullying and bullets have been around forever, one way or another, but the advent of high powered weapons has taken things to a new level.

The war on drugs started in the 1970's kicked off a turn toward punishment and incarceration and not rehabilitation.

By the 80's the new thing in music was hate-rock, aka, punk. Then that has been superceded by rap/hiphop which is violent and mean.

Of course we have always had a mix of good and bad, but we are trending bad. Global society is trending toward our own worst instincts.

When someone is mocked or belittled and marginalized in terms of their potential for a bare human minimum of a healthy decent life...something's gotta break!

Have you ever played a monopoly game? Would you play that game with your one and only house that you and your family live in? You wouldn't unless you're drunk and you'd regret it!

But that is what the economic system of the USA has become. People are selling their homes to survive and the winners of our game of monopolyalism own everything.

The only way to keep the super-rich from owning us with their money is to take some of it back from them and spend it on homes for the people of America to live in.

When we start taking care of each other better we will like ourselves and not mock each other so and I predict we will shoot each other less. Fewer bullies and bullets and more happy faces.
